W man

1:41:43 The expression: > try x is short for: > x catch |errval| return errval which itself is short for: > if (x) |value| value else |errval| return errval So if you actually have something distinct you want to do in both cases, just use the longest form: > if (...parseInt...) |weight| { > ...add to sum... > } else |errval| { > ...check max and reset sum... > } Though since you don't use errval you can use the "I don't care" capture: > ... > } else |_| { > ... > }

The built-in zig plugin is what causes errors to be displayed in the location list

[@felixallistar]

lol man youve covered everything. started learning C as a fun way to learn how many works in C# but was curious about zig

[@sub-harmonik]

the rumor that hans niemann used vibrating anal beads came from a joke a twitch chatter on the chessbrah channel made, and then eric hansen commented on it. It was always a meme and then the media picked it up like it was a serious allegation lol.

[@pigmalion3433]

Awesome gimp skills.

[@Burgo361]

The toilet thing scares me I still haven't gotten over finding out that some of my friends scrunch instead of fold. I don't know if it matters but it feels like it does for some reason. In addition: I came here to learn zig now I'm trying to work out where I would draw the line in ways to learn things quickly and I'm somewhat confused now (that would have to be painful right).

[@honeybadger5038]

Does anyone know when Zig is planning to stop making breaking changes? I like the language but I want at least a stable version.

[@NathanHedglin]

Tom is a genius

[@minecraftermad]

is it possible to upload the newest stream faster? missing the zig streams everytime is starting to be painful :/

[@NdxtremePro]

ziglings is designed to teach you to read and use the debugger from zig, not really the language is what I got from this video.

[@NotTheHeroStudios]

I remember this stream, it was great

[@NickWindham]

Bro, how are you already starting to learn Zig. You didn’t fully dive into Rust until less than a year ago. I know that a lot of skills are transferable between programming languages but it’s still impressive you’re able ti get good at a complex low level programming language that fast.

[@TheVimeagen]

I think zig is going to be fun. I'm pretty excited

[@CallousCoder]

@@TheVimeagen zig is awesome! Had some great fun making my two videos the last week. It feels like C but nicer.

[@griffitaj]

The Zigeagen!

[@henryrussell7392]

Haha, any idea what vimeagen means? He uses vim? But what is eagen

[@AndreiTache]

He combined his name, ThePrimeagen, with vim

[@puspo-in]

zig is great

[@ukrustacean]

No jokes about Sieg... *banned by YT*

[@AnthonyBullard]

If i saw this earlier , i wouldve bought you Super Duper (assuming you were going to Los Gatos)

[@TheVimeagen]

oh i went to los gatos! going back again soon

[@KnightMirkoYo]

I am convinced you can't wipe properly while standing. Easily proven: Try wiping clean while standing first, then sit and wipe again.

[@draganjonceski2639]

How the hell do people wipe sitting

[@filipmajetic1174]

$(pwd) instead of just $PWD 😩

[@firesoul453]

One reason to consider Odin over Zig is that Zig is expected to make breaking changes where Oding is stable and used in production.

[@gittawat6986]

Andrew: "pls don't use zig in production" Some programmers at Uber:"heck it why not" 😂😂 There is probably less breaking change after reaching 1.0 (2025 probably)

[@firesoul453]

@@gittawat6986 Right. Once 1.0 is out it's going to be a very compelling choice.

[@109Rage]

@@gittawat6986 To be fair, Uber isn't using Zig the language very much, and is instead using the Zig toolchain, and the work they've put in to package clang (the C/C++ compiler) into a self-contained cross-compiler, and those parts are fairly stable and not expected to have breaking changes.

[@pietraderdetective8953]

​@@gittawat6986may I know where you got the 2025 as the stable release milestone? I'd love to go back to Zig if it has reached 1.0 not before..currently too many breaking changes.
